new mod

Very nice, I would move the blue and black looms away from the hsf.

Nice - but you could definately stealth those cables better - behind the mobo tray is a great method for that case because you can sneak em up around the bottom for fans/HDD and such. Lil bit more work, but makes a ton of difference appearance-wise.

And you should invest in a mini-tripod.

thx for the comments... the wires are temp... i just needed them in there to get it working - i just duel channeled my pc3200 ram... updated the bios, set it on turbo
now all i need to do is OC to like 3.4ghz

my cpu temp is 19degrees celcius... - trusting Asus Prode 2 is right...

nice system man! good job

i sent you a PM

Nice start, i'd suggest to separate those drives though, they'll cool better and if they're 7200 they'll heat faster close together like that

hey doesnt that aeroflow hsf like vibrate really bad? my friends got one and its super loud. it could just be his crappy case though. i dunno.

I wouldn't trust that. That is an extremely low temp for the air-cooling you have. Unless, of course, you have a pelt sitting under there.

well, check this though.... Someone tell me is this Correct or what?

I REALLY doubt that 19C there. It's cooler then the mobo.

yea, so neone know whats rong?

heres a updated 1... lol - the bottom is a 17 - not 11

WOW! That is strange...but for some reason does not seem right for air cooling....where is the comp located? and what is the temp in the room? Are the sensors right?? Nice new comp though! I myself am rebuilding mine soon and it would be nice to see that on mine

They have to be backwards (mobo & CPU temp), it would make total sense then...

Those readings are backwards; I have seen that before with my old Abit KG7 motherboard's hardware monitor.

One other thing I would do is, move one hard drive up one space, this way you have a little better cooling on them from the fan that sits in that HDD cage.

yes but the key thing is to hide those wires (i knoew youve heard it before) and try to move everything down in front of the fans so that the heat rises up from the intake and go through the exhaust, it may make your case temps higher but its more efficient.

Hate to say this, but the temp might be correct....My friends P4 2.6c was running like that with an asus board and standard cooling. I thought something was up as I got similar results from asus probe, but when we ran sisofts burn-in test and we watched the temp of the motherboard stay stable (pretty much) as the cpu climbed up to 42*C. Go ahead and run the test if you want....

well, for a update, i just installed the new ATI Radeon 9800 pro, and got VGA Silencer coming in the mail, with ramsinks, hooked the 19" monitor up... i gotta say, im so impressed with the setup so far. Now, i just gotta get my desk.. and my new speakers... then towards the future, i expect this to be the full system..

btw, im benchmark testing now. ill see what i get...

and also, im a hardcore gamer, is it smart to setup raid 0? my teacher said i dont need it and it might slow it down.

update - i got 6831 in 3dMarks03... 3dMarks01 SE wont run for me, directx 8 issue, or something... and i got 22,391 in aquamark.
